I'm going to a second Store Championship this sunday and at first, I wanted to bring my current tournament list (Vessery, Fel and 2 Bombers) but since I won the first one I attended to, I don't really care about winning and I'm more and more tempted to bring a scum build, even though my experience with them is very limited. There is 4 builds tempting me for now and I can't decide on which one to bring.
1st:
-Dace Bonearm + Veteran Instinct + Ion Turret + K4 droid
-Guri + Predator + Autothruster + Virago + Advanced Sensors + Inertial Dampeners
-Cartel Spacer
-Cartel Spacer
Dace ionize while still doing 2 damage, do a green next turn to get a TL on his next target and a focus if he wasn't blocked. Being at PS9, the Phantom now face an initiative choice, moving first so he can defend at Agility 4 against him or moving after and risking getting caught in range with 2 dice to defend against his turret. Meanwhile, Guri and the Cartel Spacers use their dial and try to be as unpredictable as possible.
2nd:
-Prince Xizor + Predator + Autothruster + Virago + Advanced Sensors
-Binayre Pirate
-Binayre Pirate
-Binayre Pirate
-Torkhil Mux + Ion Turret
Pirates take the hit for Xizor and Torkhil drop the PS of the meanest ship so that Xizor can benefit the most out of Predator. Maybe start in formation, but break it as soon as the confrontation start so that Xizor can't be predictable.
3rd:
-IG-88C + Push the Limit + Advanced Sensors + Autothrusters + Seismc Charges
-Black Sun Enforcer + Autothrusters
-Black Sun Enforcer + Autothrusters
Full mobility, try to exploit the Segnor Loop and tight maneuvers of both ship to a maximum. With IG-88C, use PtL before doing a green maneuver so that I can begin next round unstressed.
4th:
-IG-88D + Advanced Sensors + Autothrusters
-Guri + Autothrusters
-Black Sun Enforcer + Autothrusters
Slight variation of the 3rd one, IG-88D to exploit even more the S-Loop and Guri instead of a Black Sun Enforcer to raise the efficiency a little.
.....
So many Choice.... I could also take the 3rd one, remove the Seismic Charges, take Inertial Dampeners instead and change one Black Sun Enforcer for 2 Cartel Spacers...... One thing for sure, I intend on bringing at least one Starviper... I love that ship.
